I just watched them over lake ontario, on a perfect day. I'm a guy from the hood, full of tattoos and these legends brought me to sobbing tears. Good god, the power and grace, the risk... it's art. I'd never seen an airshow before. You have all my respect and admiration, forever.
Yes I when there to I was there near Lake Ontario and it was cool and IT SO LOUD IT HARD MY EAR when I so this in Toronto Canada
That's where I saw them as well as at Canada's Wonderland when they flew off and we thought the show was over until they all came back low in a line over our heads and had us all shouting and jumping!
RIP. CPT Jennifer Casey.
Makes you very proud to be Canadian! They are amazing!

These guys are super good.
It isn't aerobatics.
It is air ballet.
D B who pissed in you cornflakes, like damn you don’t have to shit on the greatest country ever (ie Canada). I get if your jealous but we let anyone from a third world country (ie You). Why don’t you come and visit some time!
Imo they are better than the blue
Best Formation Flying in the World!
Also a pretty darn good camera man.
Sorry to say it but raf better
@@urdadarex2952 I love the Snowbirds as much as I love the RAF. God Bless Canada and the UK
Oh my gosh!!! That's all I could say after each move. I had to keep reminding myself to close my 😮mouth.
These men are great. I believe I caught one of their shows mid 90's at West Over AFB.
I believe this is one of the best flying show I've seen. God Bless☮️
I love the Snowbirds show. Never gets boring. I hope we get them back soon.
BROTHER FROM THE SOUTH (USA), AWESOME, GREAT JOB SNOWBIRDS.
I saw them perform at Huntington Beach, CA along with the Blue Angels in 2017.
They were truly on top of their game. I actually enjoyed their performance more than the Blue Angels.
That's not to say that the Blue Angels sucked, faaaar from it. The Blue Angels were incredible!
The Canadian team simply displayed a higher precision air show.
Probably because of the lower airspeed and more maneuverable aircraft. Very impressive.
Appreciate the kinds words as a Canadian, proud to be a neighbor of a true patriot American, just watched a go pro view of the bluebirds buzzing NY city yesterday, outstanding
The Boeing F/A-18 is a high Percision aircraft but yes the Canadair ct-114 is a little slower but it has a lot higher percision and also I am a Canadian that live in Alberta
As a retired U.S. Air Force Pilot, I've attended several Air Shows, participated in a few worldwide, and have always considered the Canadian team to be among the best, if not the BEST Aerial Demonstration Team in the world.
Sadly we just lost one of our beloved Snowbirds yesterday in what appears to be an engine related accident. While both occupants were able to eject they were extremely close to, if not outside of the safe range of operation for the use of the planes ejection system. No chutes were seen deploying in the video footage that we have.
I came here to watch one of their shows in the hopes of lifting my spirits, and ended up crying through the whole video. Thank you for posting it and thank you Snowbirds for always making a Canadian proud.
@bluebxrry Capt Casey was the team's Public Affairs Officer. She was not a pilot.
The pilot did survive the crash and had at least a partial chute. Still too early to say definitively, what happened with the escape system.
I've seen them every year and it never gets old
I saw these guys at an airshow in Halifax one time. And it was just as amazing then as it is now. Incredible moves!
I was looking forward to seeing them fly over Vancouver Island. The day before, a tragedy and worst case scenario happened and we all lost a WING. RIP. To all the Snowbirds and Crew, take your time, and we look forward to seeing you again in the near future. I salute and proud to be Canadian. Condolences to her team mates, as well as Family and Friends.
Reminds me of the Red Arrows full display in a few ways. I wish North American aerobatics teams (Snowbirds, Blue Angels, Thunderbirds) would visit Europe more often, I'd love to see them!
Every year they practice/train out of CFB Comox. I seen many cool displays in the past that were jaw dropping.
I am possitive back around 25 years ago they pushed the envolope way more. I remember them almost wing to wing always until a few accidents to close together forced changes.
When I visited my relatives during the summer in Moose Jaw I loved watching the Snowbirds Practise their maneuvers almost everyday either out the large front window or from outside. It was like having a front row seat. Your 2016 show was up to it's usual high standards! Amazing formations and incredible maneuvers .. Thank you!
I was fortunate to see them at 1974 Canadian G.P. No restrictions in those days, best show ever!
You try barrel rolling 5 aircraft without a bump.
AWESOME.
I'm in lower Sackville they just flew over my house their really beautiful
Courtney Jensen luckey I only got a little glimpse of them
@@coconutdoggy7644 awe that sucks
Courtney Jensen lucky
I got the same thing from Edmonton
Watching these guys in real life makes me proud to be Canadian
Snowbirds are DEFINITELY on my bucket list!
These guys put on one hell of a show. Seen them at the Jones Beach Airshow several years ago.
For a jet that's so old that's so awesome.
They're only in servicenow with the snowbirds
Plus : they travel WITHOUT a cargo plane full of spare parts and technicians.
@@simonrancourt7834 The team utilizes an 18-wheeler, known as the Mobile Support Vehicle (MSV). They travel to each show site and carry tools and spare parts. Having said that, they do carry some spare parts and tools in the jet, for minor snags.
They just flew over my house lol. They are did it to brighten everyone’s spirits in the Edmonton area during corona virus. Amazing!💎
So beautiful & amazing, how great these guys are..the sounds are better viewing in person though..and they've been at it for a very long time,.
I love the snowbirds they flew over my town last week
I was there, this was an amazing show.
These guys are among the best pilots in the world
they came here in Rimouski in the last years it was truly amazing !
A few years ago I was thrilled to see the Snowbirds again, at the Quesnel Airshow. Their final pass was a wing to wing in a straight line, coming toward us slow with landing lights on. I literally cried, don't know why. Does anyone know what the name of this maneuver is?
Hope you find the name sounds really cool
It's called the line abreast pass.
They are badass...I wish they would come to Phoenix😎
hmm I thought these were going to be rubbish, But it turns out they are in fact very VERY good, Respect to Canada, they are a credit to you :)
Looking forward to seeing these guys this weekend at Westmoreland county airshow.
Us too!
they need to come to Chicago Air and Water show soon, finally got to see the Red Arrows, now i want to see the Snowbirds
You'll be impressed! They are beautiful :)
Finest.
Truly incredible!! Breathtaking!!!!
awesome show,,,love the snowbirds!
Fantastic air show
These guys are greatest in the world.👍
This was a very good performance! Never seen these guys across the pond but one day here's hoping either I or they can make the trip. Some of those manoeuvres were very impressive!
Unfortunately, the Tutors limited range prevents them from heading over the pond.
Love these guys.
Beautiful!
They give me the shivers! Looks like they’ll crash any second
Totally incredible
Truly amazing!!! ❤❤❤
9 planes in formation wow
beautiful
tho0se man are so skillfull
wow
I love the Snowbirds!
I am watching this cuz I just had dinner with them yayayayayayayayayayayayay
Rcaf and rcaf snowbirds . The best in the business.
Waooo that's an amazing....
WOW THAT IS A AMAZING
My Cousins father in law flew for the snowbirds for 2 years I believe
That very cool
I love the Blue Angels but these guys are old school, stick and rudder... Beautiful to watch , I may have commented on here before , but I just love their formation flying..Top Notch.. my Top 3 favorite Teams..I sleep better a night knowing the Canadians have great pilots guarding our North...And RIP to the lady that lost her life performing...God Bless..CPT Jennifer Casey.. Well Done Girl..
Over Rideau hall is the best flight. Honor of all. get at it!
I love the fighter jets super amazing
Ironic comment for this video, as there wasn't a single fighter anywhere in it.
This are Canadair CL-41 / CT-114 Tutors they are training airplanes.
Well done flyboys
Saw this team perform at the former Brunswick Naval Air Station in Maine back maybe 20 years ago and I was very very impressed with the show they put on. The team also stopped by Portland for a visit last fall just passing thru. Nobody knew they were coming, just a visit for gas and lunch and onto their next gig. RIP Capt. Jennifer Casey.
Snowbirds check in;

Lead has command for the Chesterfield show.
Yes, Virginia..........
Canadians can fly airplanes..
Hey we just don't make great beer, eh ?
I promise, like you wouldn't believe, way better then half the crap videos on the net. that's just the snow birds, there's chinooks, Hercules, Ukraine plains, apaches, no games, just trustworthy people doing real things, like an old play ground, I think back now after a week of venting things and begging for answers, every time I stood near or was invited to such powerful sights and opportunities, not once was it destructive, it was just people really trying to keep the family together and share memories and have a bite to eat. enjoying life and not trying to destroy it even tho you might be sitting next to a display of guns and millions of rounds, to sit next to destructive materials, and choose peace and family time, was true power. to be able to laugh at what COULD BE, and be alive at the same time that's true power.
Yes, Les. You can go fuck yourself.
Yes DOLLAR STORE AIRPLANES YES.
I saw them on 15 September 2018 at Gatineau Airport
6 days later there was a EF-3 tornado at Gatineau and Ottawa
Edit: 5 years later I went back to Gatineau Airport to watch an airshow but with no snowbirds
nice
What does the Snowbird fly?
Cool
The angry goose formation.
17:13 CONTACT!!!
Ehm...no, no contact
@@manuelbalandi4624 Yes.....contact. The solos always call contact when they see each other.
@@yxeaviationphotogAh...I'm Italian, so I didn't know! Thanks for explanation!
Did a bird get annihilated at 6:54?
Matthew Balfour No the snowbirds just had a baby
Thanks for uploading this. Now I don’t have to pay 100 bucks to go see them.
They almost scissor cut that bird at 6:54
I was going to mention that in my own comment until I seen this. That bird duuped hard
Check out what happens to the bird at 6:57
Did anyone know how the Bird was hit by the jet ? 6:55
Rip..
The Canadian Snowbirds have more skilled pilots than the American Blue Angels. The formations they fly are much more complex and difficult than the maneuvers the Americans perform.
I can kinda agree with that. The Blues and the Birds are much more flashier and noisier. Though strangely those tutor planes the Snowbirds use are pretty noisy, they are much more elegant in their maneuvers.
@sparky12x Yeah thats true but using aircraft mainly used for tutoring can be very effective. The Red Arrows use the BAE Hawk , the Breitling Jet Team uses the L-39 Albatross, the Frecce Tricolori uses the MB 339, Patroulle de France uses the Dornier Alpha Jet... I could go on, Though using frontline fighters is cool, they can't preform the complex maneuvers that lightweight trainers can.
tђє ςคยϟє ๏Ŧ ฬєt קคภtเєϟ I agree. I've seen the Snowbirds fly several times. IMO they put on a better show than the Blues, and the T birds are like watching paint dry in comparison. BTW I'm an American.
If that's an attempt at humor, it fell short. Here's how to sum up the Snowbirds: They flew at a US show I was at about 15 years ago. They performed in the middle of the show, around 1pm, a time slot reserved for a secondary act. Most of the crowd couldn't even be bothered to watch, they were getting concessions, or piss break, or just chatting amongst themselves during the Snowbird demo, as it is quite boring, comparatively speaking. The airshow headliner was the USAF West Coast F-16 demonstration. The crowd jammed the fenceline when the F-16 demo started. When a single ship demo can upstage the entire Snowbirds 9 aircraft routine, that says a lot. And it's pretty sad.

They usually fly wiith 11 planes, not 9, which is even more spectacular.
10 and 11 are spares, the performance is 9 jets. Not sure I have ever seen a shot of an 11 ship formation but it would be awesome to see!
They are spare jets but also carry the communications team member and the show announcer. They also arrive early to scout locations.
All equipment and spares are carried in the 11 planes. They are 2 seaters so the mechanics fly with their pilot, each with a different specialty. They do not have a supply plane follow them.
Fun fact : last year (2019), two pilots in the team where husband and wife.
Cool.
As Pilots I would expect that they were part of the mile high club
Did anyone else see the bird get cought between two jets at 6:55
Same as the red arrows display
It's like synchronized swimming in the Olympics, except this is with airplanes instead of swimmers, and it's not an Olympic sport
Blue Angels
Korean war era equipment?
Why does it matter how old these planes are. People always bash the Canadian military for having "old" equipment but its a rediculs criticism because there isn't a new plane coming out every week. It's such a weak argument that people use just so they can shit on Canada because they are jealous. I can guarantee you that the county your from uses "old" military equipment to
@@gamer_gawd5520 Yeah , they're an old design but probably don't have many original "old" parts at this point I wouldn't think. They still fly amazing (obviously) and are pretty well maintained from what I gather.
@@gamer_gawd5520 exactly, the US military still uses the Browning .50 call and it was designed in the thirties.
OP is just jealous.
The Tutor came into service around 1965.
It is a vintage jet, meticulously maintained and ideally suited for this type of display. This platform allows the pilots to demonstrate their skills performing maneuvers with 9 ships in tight formations that would not be possible with high performance aircraft. Just relax and enjoy the show and don't worry about the age aircraft, it is the jet of choice for the Snowbirds.
Very precise yes... But I NEED afterburner lol.
Those planes would absolutely rock with a more powerful engine, although they're old they can turn and climb pretty well as is. Sadly the air frames probably couldn't handle anymore power as they're getting pretty old.
Vraiment dommage qu'ils ne sont pas de festival aérien de mirabel en fin de se tout comme les red arrows et le blues birds vraiment triste heureusement les thunderbirds sont là eux au moins
Don’t mess with Canada. We are nice polite people who say sorry a lot but do not piss us off.
Give you guys some Timmy's and it's all good...
saying sorry is coming to an end.
its not about pissing us off or not... we have 0 military... the fuck are we going to do? fist fight ? Thanks to trudope we are now a pussy country.
@@Reno2324 we had truly 0 army before the WW1 and almost nothing Before the WW2, we still did the job, way more than expected for the WWII.
@Christopher Bateman as a part of the british empire and whit the Usa near us , starting to developping new equipement would have been a litle bit stupid i think. we just improved somme design like the sherman and made new models like the sexton.
bro did saw that
6:54 Bird gets pinched and hit between the crossing planes
Funny during the Osh show the same year one of the planes did hit a bird during the routine. Broke off and landed asap.
He jumped into one of the spare jets and the team was back to the 9 ship formations 10 minutes later.
Quite the cheer from the crowd when they saw him taking off to jump back into the show. :)
I wonder what’s in the smoke?
Small planes like the Tutor is easily subjected to air turbulence so that makes them very delicate to fly in close formation.
Chicoms
Pilots of that precision and skill are given what appears to be a turboprop aircraft from like 5 decades ago? What the heck is going on across the border? Give them a worthy tool. (I may be mistaken on the propulsion of that aircraft, I'm not at all familiar with what the RCAF flies beyond their Hornets)
They're turbojet tutor aircraft, CT-114. They'll do about 420kn. They're a Canadian built and designed aircraft and a proud part of Snowbirds heritage.
Our F-18s are in active service rather than being used for demonstration because we don't have that many to spare. I believe we have 75 Hornets and 18 Super Hornets, with a single airframe making the airshow circuit rather than a full team.
Maybe if/when we finally get the F-35 the Snowbirds will upgrade to the old F-18s. Who knows.
@@ehrichard Canada currently operates 70 Hornets. Also, Canada does not operate the Super Hornet.
@@yxeaviationphotog Totally correct. No idea why I wrote that as it was a couple of months ago, but whoops, my bad.
RIP to Capt. Casey of the legendary Snowbirds.
@@ehrichard We have a Cf-188 demo team.
@@rayjay5836 Right but that's just one airframe, isn't it?
Good. You should watch Turkish Stars
Contact...
CONNNTAAAAAAAAAACT
If you bugger this one up...
You get fired.
Or quit.
im sure ill get slapped for saying this, but i wish they would upgrade the snowbirds to F-18's
The reason that they use the Canadiair CL-41 Tutor is because trainer planes are far more forgiving and don't need fo fly as fast as a fighter to avoid stalling. Another reason is that military aerobatic teams are a source of national pride for their countries and flying a foreign plane would be, well, embarrassing. The Red Arrows use Hawks, the T-Birds flew Talons (now they use Falcons which makes no sense to me for the above reasons) and the Blue Angels use Hornets. It's going to really suck for the Angels if they're forced to use the Super Hornet because they don't call it the Rhino because it's agile, that's for sure. The Tutors were actually retired from the RCAF's training program about 20 years ago but they work phenomenally well as aerobats (as you can see) so it's a good reason to keep a real Canadian plane flying.
If they were in CF-18's, they'd need a LOT more room and many of the manoeuvres they do wouldn't be easily seen because it would be more spread out due to the higher speeds. There's also the fact that the CF-18 can't do a lot of what the Tutor can do without ripping itself to shreds.
Too expensive to fly, harder to maintain and you drastically shrink your available pool of pilots and techs. So no, that isn't feasible.
Naw. Its not a good idea. The Blue Angels already do a phenomenal job displaying the F18 as the Thunderbirds so with the F16. These are both high performance aircraft and cannot be used to perform the aerial ballet that the Snowbirds perform. If you put the Snowbirds in F18s then you will just have another Blue Angels team.
Wonderful comments from so many people. Do they all understand how much it costs our government every year to keep them operational? If not - do the research. These old Tutors are now obsolete and may be retired in December of this year. The government may replace them. Do these people understand how much it will cost us, the taxpayers, to replace them? If not - do the research. The money that could be spent on this form of entertainment at this time of crisis is absolutely outrageous. It’s time to rethink the Snowbirds.
Every time I hear or read something about how outrageous the cost of these kind of things is, I'm tempted to reply by reminding the commenter of the outrageous waste of money that governments commit on an everyday basis. Graft, corruption, waste. Before commenting on how outrageous the expense that this is, first comment on other outrages that could be eliminated or prevented.
Problem is: you can hear them, but you cannot see them.
Who's here after that suspicious murder
Please explain how it's a "suspicious murder" when no details of how she died are out and the video shows what looks like two ejections taking place?
There was no murder... it was a plane crash
God Bless the Air Force to protect us from the chi oms
why would you risk your lives for a clap, do not get this, guessing that is why never married one
K how do you "practice" doing this kind of shit
Exactly.
Almost as good as The Thunderbirds.
